Advantages: Cheep and great beer Disadvantages: Can get a little busy later on
The LordNelson that i sometimes go to is in Urmston, Manchester. It is a lovely place and has a wonderful atmosphere. It is a Joseph Holts pub, and for those who have never had the chance to drink in a Joseph Holts pub, let me explain.
Joseph Holts is the best pint of bitter i have ever had, and ive drunk a few. Quite personally i think that the lager is awful, but then again i dont drink much larger, im bitter and ale man myself. Joseph Holts is its own brewery so in the pumps is its own beer. This is probably why it is so cheap. I cant write enough how good the bitter is. At first i was a bit reluctant to try the bitter as i didnt like the lager (i drank lager first). Once tasted ive never gone back.
Enough on the brewery and back onto the pub...
The pub inside is a traditional looking pub, with a huge carpeted lounge area ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Lord Nelson
Advantages: As good as Twinings etc Disadvantages: None
Lidl's LordNelson Earl Grey is an excellent version of tea. It is cheaply priced at 59p and each tea bag is individually wrapped in a sachet, like in the restaurants in the Mediterranean. A string is attached for convenience. A smooth taste, definately on par with Twinings Earl Grey as I drink both brands. The only snag is Twinings is about £2 for 50 bags. LordNelson boxes have 25 bags in them, so you are paying approximately 2p/bag. Twinings work out at approx 4p/bag. I personally like Twinings but when you can get the same thing for half the price, my choice is made. Don't believe rumour that Lidl's products is similar to other supermarket's "value" and "brands", it is definately not!
I actually quite fancy one now! ...
Advantages: Delicious, cheap, quick to make, refreshing Disadvantages: Not widely sold
I like Earl Grey in general, but this is, surprisingly, the nicest that I have tasted - as well as being the cheapest! Well, that's unusual in itself, isn't it! I mean usually I eat cheaper versions of food and decide "you get what you pay for"... but not in this case!
I found a box at work, and tried it twice so far (with, and without milk). Both times delicious. Refreshing, quick to make (agree with other reviewer, you don't have to steep the teabag for long) and not so overwhelmingly perfumed that you can't taste the 'TEA'.
Thought it was a posh brand (because of the name 'LordNelson' probably) but as it turns out - it comes from Lidl - our cutprice supermarket.
Will probably end up drinking the whole box. Don't know who it belongs too but happy to leave 49p on the shelf for the pleasure!
Strongly recommend it. ...
